Two people have been selected winners of this year’s World Food Prize.
Lawrence Haddad, who is a British economist and food policy researcher, and Dr. David Nabarro, who has worked with the World Health Organization and United Nations on health and hunger issues, were honoured in a ceremony this week at the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington.
Norman Borlaug, who died in 2009, created the prize in 1986. He won the Nobel Peace prize for his wheat-breeding work at the international research centre in Mexico.
